Sidewalk Repair Program - Package No. 85

The Sidewalk Repair Program - Package No. 85 is a project managed by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering to repair existing sidewalks at twenty-two specific access request sites. This initiative is performed to fulfill the city's obligations under the Willits Settlement Agreement and focuses on the removal of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access barriers as identified by residents with disabilities. The scope of work is limited to barrier removal and adjacent work conducted in accordance with applicable ADA accessibility requirements. Notably, the project includes the removal of two street trees at 3936 S Hill St, which requires separate discretionary approval from the Board of Public Works or the Bureau of Street Services, Urban Forestry Division. The project was approved on May 20, 2026, and is classified as a forecast with NAICS code 237310. It has been determined to be statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(7), as the repairs are necessary for the hosting and carrying out of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and do not involve the construction of new facilities. Administrative oversight is provided by the Bureau of Engineering, with David Nguyen serving as the primary point of contact. The project benefits the general public and local businesses by improving accessibility across various locations in Los Angeles.
